The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Belgium (Gibson)
[Paraphrase]
Washington, March 26, 1931—6
p.m.
13. In a discreet manner you are to inquire whether or not, upon the establishment of the Belgo-Luxemburg Economic Union in 1921, any other Government, in view of an unconditional most-favored-nation clause in an existing treaty with either Belgium or Luxemburg, sought to claim the advantages of the union. What success attended such representation? Please report as soon as possible.
